'''Tornado Måløy Fotballklubb''' is a Norwegian association football club from Vågsøy island in Kinn Municipality, Vestland county. It plays in both Måløy and Refvika, and the men's team is situated in the Third Division, the fourth tier of Norwegian football.
==History== The foundation of the club was agreed to in December 2002, as a merger between ''Tornado FK'' and ''Måløy IL''. The merger was decided on the annual conventions of Tornado and Måløy, and 100% and 85% of the convention-goers in the respective clubs agreed to the merger. The team started its existence in the Third Division, and had both Refvik stadium and Måløy stadium as home fields.<ref>{{cite news|title=Klubb med to heimebaner|date=22 December 2002|work=Bergens Tidende|page=18|language=no}}</ref>
Tornado was the better team before the merger.
